release of the American Civil War real-time tactical strategy game
Scourge of War:
Chancellorsville! The latest in the
Scourge of War series,
Chancellorsville is its own full stand-alone title and
focuses on one of the most important battles in the lead-up to the
battle at Gettysburg.

In
Scourge of War: Chancellorsville, players take command of
either the Confederate or Union forces during the Battle of
Chancellorsville in May of 1863. Commanding troops in real-time
tactical pausable combat, players can fight 22 single-player
scenarios across three highly-detailed and historically accurate
maps, complete with realistic weather and even during the night.
Like all titles in the
Scourge of War series,
Chancellorsville features an extensively-researched
historical Order of Battle with authentic leader ratings, authentic
units and weapon ratings and specifications, and genuine sounds and
smoke effects to bring the battlefield to life.

Scourge of War: Chancellorsville comes with the versatile
Sandbox Battle feature and random play mode, allowing players to
create endless variations of battles on the maps. For those wanting
to engage in combat with or against their fellow man, players can
go online with up to 32 players in six multiplayer scenarios with
the new routing server for smooth and flawless gameplay.

The Battle of Chancellorsville began with the Union Army’s
attempt to march on Richmond to end the war, and ended with General
Robert E. Lee’s routing of Union forces. Can you match
Lee’s “Perfect Battle” or change the fortunes of
the Union Army and defeat the Confederate Army?
